Role Based Access - Account Management & Session Control

Scenario 1 – Multi-Role Access Management for Cross-Department Operations

Scenario Description A utility employee with multiple departmental roles needs seamless access to different system modules based on their current operational context without compromising security or creating access conflicts.

Objective (Why)

Business Goal: Optimize operational efficiency by allowing qualified employees to perform multiple functions while maintaining strict role-based security controls and audit compliance.
Consumer Goal: Ensure uninterrupted service delivery through flexible workforce management that allows cross-trained staff to handle diverse customer needs.
System Goal: Provide dynamic role switching capabilities that maintain data integrity and security while enabling multi-departmental access.

If Not Set – Business Impact

Operational Inefficiency: Staff cannot respond to urgent cross-departmental requests, leading to delayed customer service and increased operational costs.
Security Vulnerabilities: Without proper multi-role management, employees may be granted excessive permanent permissions, creating security risks and compliance violations.
Customer Service Degradation: Unable to leverage cross-trained staff during peak periods or staff shortages, resulting in longer resolution times and decreased customer satisfaction.

Scenario Explanation - in short

Case Study: Sarah Martinez works as both a CSO Manager and Meter Manager at Pacific Water Utilities. During morning hours (8 AM - 12 PM), she handles customer service operations with full CIS access, managing consumer accounts, complaints, and service orders. In the afternoon (1 PM - 5 PM), she switches to her Meter Manager role, accessing meter data validation, device management, and reading supervision functions. When a critical meter reading discrepancy affects billing for 500+ customers, Sarah needs to access both roles simultaneously - using her CSO permissions to communicate with affected customers while using Meter Manager permissions to investigate and resolve the technical issue. The system must track her actions under the appropriate role context for audit purposes.

Audience (Why it Matters) - in short

CSM → Must explain to customers why certain requests may require role-specific processing times and ensure proper escalation when multi-role coordination is needed for complex issues.

QA → Must validate that role switching maintains proper security boundaries, audit trails are correctly attributed to specific roles, and no unauthorized access occurs during role transitions.

Engineers/Interns → Must understand the role hierarchy logic, permission inheritance rules, and how the system prevents privilege escalation while enabling legitimate multi-role operations.

Scenario 2 - Emergency Response Multi-Role Coordination

Scenario Description During utility emergencies, designated staff must temporarily access elevated permissions across multiple departments to coordinate response efforts while maintaining security and accountability.

Objective (Why)

Business Goal: Enable rapid emergency response by allowing pre-authorized staff to access critical systems across departments during outages, leaks, or safety incidents without waiting for individual approvals.
Consumer Goal: Ensure minimal service disruption and faster restoration times through coordinated emergency response that leverages cross-departmental expertise and resources.
System Goal: Provide emergency access protocols that maintain audit compliance while enabling temporary elevated permissions for qualified emergency coordinators.

If Not Set - Business Impact

Response Delays: Emergency coordinators cannot access necessary systems to dispatch field crews, update customers, or coordinate repairs, leading to extended outages and safety risks.
Regulatory Non-Compliance: Inability to properly document emergency response activities across departments may violate utility commission reporting requirements and emergency preparedness regulations.
Customer Safety Risks: Delayed access to critical systems during gas leaks or water contamination events could endanger public health and result in legal liability.

Scenario Explanation - in short Case Study: During a major water main break affecting 2,500 customers in downtown Denver, Emergency Coordinator Mike Thompson needs immediate access to multiple systems. As an O&M Manager, he normally only accesses Service Orders and Asset Management. However, during this emergency, he needs CSO Manager permissions to send mass notifications to affected customers, Meter Manager access to isolate meter readings in the affected zone, and Billing Manager permissions to process service credits for extended outages. The system activates his emergency role profile at 3:47 AM, providing temporary elevated access for 24 hours. All actions are logged under emergency protocol AU-EMRG-2025-003 for regulatory reporting. Mike coordinates with field crews through Service Orders, notifies 2,500 customers via Communication Hub, isolates 847 meters in the affected zone, and pre-approves service credits totaling $12,400 for customers experiencing over 8 hours without service.

Audience (Why it Matters) - in short

CSM - Must understand emergency notification protocols and explain to customers why they receive communications from different departments during emergencies, ensuring consistent messaging and proper escalation procedures.
QA - Must validate that emergency access protocols properly expire, all elevated permissions are automatically revoked after the emergency period, and comprehensive audit trails capture all actions taken under emergency authorization.
Engineers/Interns - Must understand the emergency role activation logic, automatic permission escalation rules, time-based access expiration, and how the system prevents abuse while enabling legitimate emergency response.
